‘Kevin Kellenbarger, 69, a three-time Trump voter who retired from a printing company, said his Christian faith led him to the Republican Party. The Lancaster, Ohio, resident thinks the president’s immigration crackdown is necessary, though he expressed dissatisfaction at the recent killing of Renee Good by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis.’

“I don’t like anybody getting killed, but it wasn’t Trump’s fault,” Kellenbarger said, adding that President Joe Biden, a Democrat, "let millions of people in. They have to be taken out.”

A lot to unpack in that ‘christian’s’ statement.

There is little sign overall, though, that the Republican base is abandoning Trump. The vast majority of Republicans, about 8 in 10, approve of his job performance, compared with 4 in 10 for adults overall.

“I don’t like the man as a human being. I don’t like his brashness. I don’t like his roughness. I don’t like how he types out his texts all capital as if he’s yelling at everybody. But what I approve of is what ~~he is doing to try and get the country on track,~~ Fox News tells me he's doing.” Candela said.

Phyllis Gilpin, a 62-year-old Republican from Booneville, Missouri, praised Trump's ability to “really listen to people.”

Ah yes, Trump’s most famous virtue.
